Why is it that weapon baron is so overpowered
For the guys who will claim that he is slower than phin well phin can't leap above walls his damage is so broken that an armor can't do **** and they don't have to buy any shields

You have to snowball him early. He's a beast late game. So draft an early game comp against him, and push hard.

He needs no rework , he is alright , i just played a match with him and got snowballed because of weak team mates yet i had some amazing damage potential so was able to 1v1 any hero , and even 2v1 with a quick escape letting my noob baptiste jungler take the kills, it was a very tough match yet i won with 16 kills and 3 deaths , so yeah baron is op late game but he needs good team mates and good early start or else he is pretty useless for an average player.... Only people above CT with experience can play him well even if the start is rough! Ps: I won with all my turrets destroyed and i was very happy with this match up

I played a match as a weapon baron because i was so frustrated and the roamers with me were so bad I carried the whole team and we had a lance that kept feeding the enemy and didn't play the game so we were 1 hero short, now I realized that his rocket leap grants him 2 fast shots and that is op and I f you build attack speed you get 4 fast shots he is op baron crystal path is fine but baron weapon path is another story

Snowball does nothing we are talking about his auto attack not his mortars they are useless while building weapon

It's insanely hard to play him I feel... Baron at its current state simply can't get fed enough fast enough I think. I feel like to be really effectively as Baron you need at least 2.5 of your core items, which, unless you snowball insanely hard, is hard to get pre-Kraken. This goes for both CP and WP, I feel.

WP Baron OP?
Here is his weakness list:
1) Energy Consumption is so high at early game,Enemies can force Baron out of lane easily
2) WP Baron Players will need to adapt Aggressive Play-style to Dish out Damage,Putting Baron In Danger.
3)WP Baron struggle to keep up with his teammates if the enemy team is mobile fighting
4) Baron skill shot is hard to land on a hero especially vety mobile ones
5) Mobile Assasins such as Taka can instantly erase Baron from fight
6) If baron is build at least 2 def item,his dmg output is lowered,low def item make baron an easy target to kill.
7)Baron deals burst damage, It is also Splash Damage.So enemy Team that spread out can lower Baron Damage Output.
8) Baron should always be the one die first,It's teamfight rule number 1 - Kill enemy carry before they can kill your carry
9) Baron is so easy to snowball, Ringo,Vox and Celeste can outrade Baron
10) Baron has lower Attack speed, Making it hard to last hit, kite etc

phew that's a lot!
